fic, i.e. the one that the Stiles we know lands into.

In this fic, Stiles is driving, (read: speeding), away in his Jeep from Peter Hale. In another universe, Stiles is also speeding in his Jeep, but it's because he's was supposed to pick up Scott over 20 minutes ago. Suddenly, right as the first Stiles thinks he's got away, Peter Hale jumps in front of his jeep, while a deer runs in front of the second Stiles.

Both of them crash the car.

Only one of them wakes up in a hospital, in a universe that's ''definitely'' not their own.
